My 'last meal'

I know, you will despise me because I didn't take pictures... But I really just forgot, I was too excited about the food... Not usually one to gorge myself before going on a diet, a friend and I decided today to treat ourselves. I want to start losing weight, so I thought I might as well... Not that I would avoid that kind of food completely in the future, but we did probably eat a bit more than someone on a calorie restriction. Hiroshi's restaurant in Honolulu is a great place to eat, and they have 2 fabulous deals: The 4-course all-local and seasonal dinner on Sun and Mon for $35 (+ $14 wine pairing), and Happy Hour between 5:30 and 6:30 when all food items are half price at the bar. Martinis are $3.50 during that time, so I had a classic one, 2 glasses of Gruener Veltliner, espresso, and a glass of Caol Ila 12. My friend and I shared the following:

Again, all at half the price listed. Everything was just delightful. I could have survived without the breaded and fried abalone (=katsu), but would not want to have missed any of the other courses. I asked the cute bar girl to marry me and whether I could move in there but she was hesitant At that same place I had hamachi kama (collar) last week, probably the best pieces of fish I had - ever. Unfortunately, they didn't have any today. Anyway, the home fridge is almost cleared of 'evil' foods, and it's time to think about portion control from now on.
